I read a lot of blogs. And various blogs are related to each other and to various topics in unique ways. And what's more is that I read some blogs for work, and others for play. At first I made use of the RSS functionality in Safari, and then I tried that within Mail. But my needs exceeded what Apple was able to offer me.
And then I fell in love. NetNewsWire is a FREE OS X application solely dedicated to RSS feeds. It functions as something of a cross between Mail and Safari, in that it reads the feed XML, but can display the actual webpage as well. You can organize your feeds into folders and smart folders, archive read posts, view a whole folder's worth of feeds in one integrated stream, and more. It integrates well with Growl, Delicious, Mail, Safari, and others. But somehow it is remarkably simple to use and most of its advanced functionality is out of the way.
If you follow more than 5 blogs or other feeds, I highly recommend downloading NetNewsWire for free and organizing your feeds into it.
